To register to vote in any local authority council election, remember to take along your Telecom or Municipal/Town/Village electricity and water bills for May 2008 and May 2009 to prove that you have lived in that local authority area for 12 consecutive months. Alternatively bring along two persons who are registered voters in that particular local authority area to make statements under oath that they know that you have lived there for 12 consecutive months.
